Enumeration of Plants of the Rocky j 



Art. XXlll.~Enu7neration of the Plants of Dr. Parry's Collection 

 m the Backy Mountains^ (continued from vol, xxxiii, p, 411) ; 

 by A. Geay : with Supplements, by G. Engelmann and A. 

 Gray. 



We are happy to state that Dr. Parry, assisted by Mr. E. Hall, 

 IS now again in the Rocky Mountains, and at the last accounts 

 was about to ascend Pike's Peak. An interesting botanical col- 

 lection may be expected. 



222. Samhucus racemosa, L. Apparently just the European plant, and 

 a glabrous state of S. pubens, Micbx. 



223. Symplwricarpus montanus, H.B.K. New to our flora; well 

 marked by its elongated corolla. S. glaucescens, H.B.K., appears, in 

 probably authentic specimens, not to be really different. 



224. Lonicera involucrata, Banks. 



225. Viburnum paudforum, Pylaie. 



226. Vaccinium ccespitosum, Michx. Just like the White-Mountain 

 plant. "Strictly alpine." 



22Y. Vaccinium Myrtillus, L. var. microphyllum, Hook. Fl. Bor. Am, 

 Surely a remarkable variety of V. Myrtillus, the flowers as small in pro- 

 ■' ' According to Dr. Parry, it is the " usual alpine 



portion as the 1 

 form, growing i 



1 closely branch* 

 greens, taking the place of 228, which is found lower down, in pine woods. 

 Fruit small, purplish, without bloom, mild and rather insipid in taste." 

 t>r. Hayden gathered it on the Black Hills of the Platte. 



228. Vaccinium Myriillus, var. ? The branchlets less strongly angled, 

 and the leaves less reticulated and toothed than in the European V. Myr- 

 tillus. In the flowers, &c., it is as if intermediate between that species 

 and V. ccEspitosum. Fuller specimens, and the fruit, are wanted. 



229. Pyrola minor, L. Collected by Fendler (No. 644) as far south 



230. Pyrola chlorantka, Swartz. Dr. Hooker is right in his suspicion 

 that the Greenland plant of Dr. Kane, referred by Dnrand to P chloran- 

 'J«, is P. grandifiora ; but he is quite wrong, as I think, m referring P. 

 ^f^orantha to P. rotundifolia, of which P. grandifiora is evidently a 



231. Pyrola (Moneses) unifiora, L. "In deep pine woods." 



,,232. Pyrola'rotundifoliaX var. uliginosa {P. uliginosa, W) 

 In moist, sirady woods; flowers rose-color." This is certainly connected 

 *ith P. rotundifolia through P asarifolia. To the synonyms of P. ro- 

 tundifolia, Dr. Hooker mi^rht have added P. occidmtali.% R. Br., P. bracte- 

 «'«, Hook., P. picta, Hoo\., &c., but should exclude, as I suppose, both 

 J^' rhlorantha and P. elliptica. 



233. Pyrola secunda, L. ,. , . 



234. Gaultheria Mirsynites, Hook. A rare and peculiar plant. 



235. Mimulus luteus, L. A slender form. 



236. Collinsia parvifora, Dougl.
